Breathless is a murder mystery set on one of the 8000m peaks.

Manaslu

Not a great mystery — but I enjoyed hearing about the challenges of high altitude climbing.

When journalist and novice climber Cecily Wong is asked to summit Mount Manaslu, the eighth-highest peak in the world, it’s a career-making opportunity. She’s been personally invited by Charles McVeigh, one of the most acclaimed mountaineers in the world, who wants her to report on the final leg of his record-breaking series of summits. But there’s one caveat: he won’t give her the interview until she’s scaled the mountain as part of his climbing party.

Amy McCulloch actually knows what she’s talking about. September 2019, she became the youngest Canadian woman to climb Mt. Manaslu in Nepal — the world’s 8th highest mountain.

She also summited Aconcagua, in -45C and 90kmph winds, and has visited all seven continents.
